Motorola DROID Turbo Employee Edition sneaks out on Verizon’s website

The Motorola DROID Turbo was officially unveiled on October 28,and went up for sale shortly thereafter. For Verizon employees who might have wanted to pick up the newest DROID-branded smartphone, waiting may have been worth it, as a new “Employee Edition” of the handset has landed on Verizon’s website.

This particular variant of the DROID Turbo isn’t all that different from the original. There’s “Limited Edition” branding with a serial number near the camera, and the back looks to be a smooth kevlar option. And that’s where the differences end.

The Employee Edition DROID Turbo still features a 5.2-inch QHD display, with a 21-megapixel camera on the back. There is the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor under the hood, with 3GB of RAM and a battery measured in at 3900mAh. The pricing for the Employee Edition are also different, with the two-year contract price set at $99, and a $499 price tag sans contract.
